Old Fashioned Christmas

The snow fell gently on a quiet street
Neighbors walked in without knocking
There was a feeling of joy in the air
As each child hung up their stocking

There was a coal fire in the heatrola
Which took a little while to start
O Come All Ye Faithful on the radio
And a warmth radiating from each heart

The kids all went to bed early
Couldn't sleep until early morn
Waiting for presents from Santa
And to celebrate the day Christ was born.

When you first wrote this it was a year or two ago, and here we are almost in another holiday season. This is a soft reminder of Christmas's of the past, less commericial and meaningful perhaps than the hectic holidays of today. Guess it's up to us to keep them as simple and meaningful as possible. Oh yes..thank you for sharing the "I can sleep when the wind blows" e-mail. Very moving and also a great message. Thank you! Blessings, Carrie
